Sway bar missing!
Well I was under the Bonny on the weekend to upgrade the end links.
Did the front, went to look at the rear and I discovered that I have no sway bar back there.
I cannot even find any mounting holes where one would even bolt up. I was hoping to maybe mount a sway bar from a SLE or SSE?
Where rear sway bars only available on the SLE and SSE'*?
Looks like the toe in structure is a lot beefier then in pre 2000 so maybe Pontiac was able to do away with the sway bar on the SE models because of this?
Thanks for any help!

correct, 2000+ SEs did not come equipped with a rear sway bar, in fact not only is the suspension beefier looking, but it is also a different design and re configures where the vehicles weight is distributed.
Im sure that a swaybar could be added, but i havent looked into it at all

What is your suspension RPO code (FE1, FE2, F41)?
Also, not to cast doubt on your powers of observation, but I noted that on my wife'* 2004 LeSabre, the rear sway bar is mounted forward of the rear supension parts, as opposed to behind them (like on my 199. When I first crouched under the rear of the '04, I did not immediately see the swaybar...
